Just Start vs MadFocus

The task is big. Your first step doesn’t have to be. Just Start helps you begin the task you keep putting off. Describe what feels hard to start, find one small action, and take it into a short focus session. MAKE THE FIRST STEP SMALLER Ask the app’s AI for a concrete first step for your own task. Still feels like too much? Ask for a smaller action. If AI is unavailable, you can write your own step or use the timer directly. START WITH TWO OR FIVE MINUTES Begin a short session without answering a survey. Pause when you need to. Longer focus and break presets are available when you want more time. SUPPORT WHEN YOU WANT IT Choose visual timers and ambient sounds. Pro adds more sound options, mixing, and optional AI check-ins. These check-ins are automated messages, not a live person working beside you. KEEP A LITTLE MOMENTUM See your focus history and progress.

START FREE The free app includes up to three focus sessions and three AI task requests per day, core progress tools, and three ambient sounds. Pro adds unlimited focus sessions and expanded support.

If you can't control one phone, what part of your life do you actually control? "Just five minutes" turns into an hour. Your work is right in front of you, but your thumb keeps scrolling. MadFocus is the app blocker built for that exact moment. MadFocus locks distracting social, short-video, and gaming apps, stops you when you try to open them, and replaces easy-to-ignore reminders with a brutally honest push back to your goals. Use it for screen time control, digital detox, studying, fitness, deep work, and breaking procrastination. KEY FEATURES ■ Block distracting apps Choose individual apps or entire categories. When focus mode is active, blocked apps stay out of reach until you complete an unlock challenge. ■ Get called out, not coddled The block screen gives you direct, goal-aware messages instead of another gentle notification to dismiss. ■ 11 hard-to-ignore unlock challenges Want temporary access? Complete the challenge you draw: · Read Aloud: face the front camera, read the assigned line, match at least 50% of the text, and reach the volume threshold · Confession Contract: type a reflection word for word · Face Yourself: look at yourself through the front camera and confront the impulse · Life Countdown: watch your remaining time tick away · Motivation Video: finish a discipline video before continuing · Hold Your Promise: focus on the goal you wrote for yourself · Face-Down Reset: place your phone screen-down for five minutes · Walk 50 Steps: get up and move before unlocking · 10 Squats: complete ten squats with on-device pose recognition · Window Photo: walk to a window and photograph daylight and the outdoor scene · Challenge Roulette: let MadFocus randomly choose your next penalty ■ Four focus modes Discipline, Fitness, Study, and Hustle modes tailor the experience to what you are trying to achieve. ■ Screen time accountability Review blocked attempts by day, week, month, and year. See how often distraction wins, then take that time back. WHO IT'S FOR · Students preparing for exams who lose study time to quick checks · People building a fitness habit but getting stuck scrolling · Professionals and creators fighting procrastination · Anyone doomscrolling late at night and trying to rebuild self-control Freedom comes from discipline. Turn on blocking, stop mindless scrolling, and put your attention back where it belongs.
